[a-dumbass-jester]

Oh you know the second I finish the Magnus archives I'm making a crossover with your turn to die

Ok but jokes aside the entity's would have a field day with yttd

THIS WAS MENT TO BE SHORT!!

Also there’s a lot of edits in this sorry

Anyways I would center it around the dummies being avatars because of the whole humanity thing

I put an Entities chart at the bottom for my non Magnus archives mutuals (so most of them)

I already have:

(I'm nowhere near done with tma yet it might change the more Iearn about the entitys)

Ranmaru - Lonely

hayasaka - Eye

Megumi - Corruption

Sara - Slaughter/End

Joe - Desolation

Mai - Hunt/Slaughter

Hinako - Desolation/Buried

Kurumada - Buried

Midori - Flesh

Anzu - Stranger

Ranger - Stranger

Mishima - Vast

A bit of explanation:

- Ramaru would of been taken by the lonely so fast it's actually insane

Even his hair is already white!!

- Hayasaka is PERFECT for the eye

LIKE THAT IS LITERALLY HIM!!

(Second image put so it doesn't take up an entire page)

- I know the corruption is more focused on like bugs, mold, rotting things and maybe toxic or unhealthy love, but Megumi is literally a corrupt police officer in a corrupt system.

also want to see she become as disgusting on the outside as she is on the inside

- I can also see Sara becoming one

For Sara I'm thinking of Angus a lot

Maybe because I like the idea of her being deified by asunaro

But maybe Slaughter or maybe End

She was literally born and raised for the death game

She has the highest survival rate for a reason

Keiji literally says to her “will you be our goddess of victory, or angel of death” (I love that line sm holy shit)

- Tim reminds me a lot of Joe so I’m thinking desolation

WAIT ONG YES DESOLATION

He finds out what killed his father (the police system and maybe asunaro if they set it up) and goes the same route Tim does with the Circus of the other (that killed his brother)

(I also haven’t gotten there yet so I could be wrong, tjis is just what I’ve heard)

- Back to the dummies I can see Mai as slaughter based on how quick she resorted to murder if it ment survival

Now that I say that hunt actually

- I wanna say Hinako desolation because of her fire thing

Maybe buried because of her shovel and that she’s one of the people associated with the coffins

- I'm tjinking of kurumada - buried because of how he died and is another one of the people associated with the coffins

- I see Midori as one but I can't decide witch one yet

I'm thinking of flesh maybe

I can see him useing it to freak people out

Also the cart at the bottom says butchered or twisted which feel very Midori to me

Edit: another reason flesh fits is because it’s also typically the one people like the least 

Because even if you aren’t scared of it it still gets a reaction out of you because it’s rlly disgusting

Like mag 018 “the man upstairs” is a rlly good example of this

Edit: he’s a known liar so maybe web as well

- The spiral and stranger can share Anzu and Ranger

Now that I think about it they both feel more stranger to me

I might be biased because I’m stranger aligned and want my favorite(anzu) to also be stranger aligned

But with their theme of dolls and them being a lot like a not!them. (Taking the place of a dead person)

On the wiki it mentions that the stranger is often associated with preforming/theater and mask to things I’d associate with Anzu and ranger

Edit: I Saïd spiral Anzu because i want to let her be cartoonish, I also love the spiral (I want to kiss Helen and Michael)

- Because I can want to assign Vast to someone I can see Mishima finding beauty in it!

Yes the fact that you don’t mean much in in the big picture is scary but I feel like he’d be able to find beauty in it

Also in Simons statement(witch I haven’t gotten to yet:() he says that he “fell and the sky embraced him” which feel very Mishima to me

Here’s the chart:

Non Magnus archives meowtuals I can go more in depth if you want me too!! :3

After one year of pause, Yes We Are Magazine has now been back but only on Tumblr for more than three months, daily as usual. The Fb version is unfortunately still on pause as it’s my disappeared wife and collaborator Anne Pangolin Guéno who has the keys and refuses to give them when it’d be very nice for all of us to have the Fb version of the mag functioning.

For the newcomers, just watch a few pages to get the stuff, what it’s about, the level, the style, the spirit. And/or go to the “about”.

It’s mainly a photo magazine without a lot of blah blah, and mainly compositional analyses when they have to be made - yet all the main directions have been explained in this field over the years, so I don’t have much to say about it now.

For the visual artists (mainly painters) : you are welcome, as usual. The feature which had existed in 2 018/19 (The Tri-Weekly Most Successful YWAMag selection) has been back for several weeks. From 2 015 to 2 018 or 19 I have had 4 collaborators with their Weekly Selection. This feature is gonna be back soon with a newcomer. The files still have to be sent here between 1Mb and 4. All secure, no one has ever complained about that.

The interviews, of which you can see some on ISSUU, are waiting for Anne’s come back. I don’t have the graphic design skills to make the visual part.

Boycott, especially political, is still a repellent and abhorrent practice that YWAmag firmly refuses. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director since 2 014

Beaucoup de gens sont friands de cette page de likes, d'autant qu'ils remplacent assez bellement mais sans structure ni journalisme Yes We Are Magazine, en pause indépendante de ma volonté depuis

1 le kidnapping d'Anne fin août 21 (Fb)

2 La pause du mag Tumblr depuis septembre 23 (problème technique, et séquelles d'Anne suite à la séquestration).

N'importe quel triso "antiraciste" ou "racisé" y voit la même variété (et la même qualité) que le mag, à tous niveaux dont racial, religieux, d'orientation sexuelle, de "camp politique". Il y a entre 30 et 50 likes par jour.

Ce Tumblr, pour ceux qui suivent pas, c'est mon Tumblr photo, qui n'est que d'écrit depuis juillet 24 pour la raison 2. Il existe depuis 2 018 et je l'ai créé à cause du boycott sur mon Tumblr principal, qui existe depuis début 2 012. Les gens likent les mêmes photos que celles qu'ils ne likent pas sur mon Tumblr de base, simplement parce qu'il n'y a pas les textes et rapports de faits criminels autour, ce qui montre bien qu'évidemment ce n'est pas une question de niveau mais de terreur d'ultra-gauche.

Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes

I'm just seeing that Tumblr has changed the way we can write...this means that the Choice of the Day, to which almost no one participates in spite of my huge daily efforts, will now have a font and presentation which has nothing to see with the mags's font and presentation. Fat, ugly. This was not enough to put the big white spaces around the visual posts, which makes the mag now only function from your remote archives or with sent files, and all the other (blind or stupid) curating sites have on their main page these huge white stripes around their selections, and they never did anything against this - this speak volumes about the way they consider their selected artists. At the same time, dear fascist Zuckie also implements Fb changes. All this has a "philosophy" which is called "progress" or "change for change". It also seems to be included in the anti-Musk war and "who has the biggest" competition. Another change of the kind was implemented in November 2 018 on Tumblr, because the staff was incompetent to ban porn bots, hard porn and paedophiles from the platform. It touched art nude and the mag was deeply impacted, hundreds of lovely and/or remarkable nude or semi-nudes selections forced to disappear and be blocked as "inappropriate". The trademark of YWAMag changed then. The main nude models showcasing on Tumblr, Nicole Vaunt, Roarie Yum, Freya Gallows, Keira Grant and others, disappeared from the platform after years of excellent presence on their Tumblrs and in the mag. I have proudly and efficiently been part of the "bush liberation" which was more than needed. Them, and the photographers as Corwin Prescott, husband of Nicole, Mikey McMichaels and many others. The irony is that all have been part of the US "progressive left" of which one of the main ideological pillars is that Islam is a pure wonder and that only "white supremacists" (TM - LOOOOL) criticize it "because they're full of hate" - and of shit - of course ! I have then easily written and published five texts against Jeff d'Onofrio replacing David Karp, Jeffie the Progrie and his new absolutely bigot and servile Muslim friendly policy. The unspoken subtitles of that operation were obvious for anyone with a non-low IQ, though, everyone on Tumblr was exciting themselves against "white bigotry"' and Trump (!! as if he was in command of D'onofrio, a "progressive" !) - as fucking usual. This was so funny - if it hadn't been totally pathetic and idiotic. In the forenamed artists and especially models I know who knows the truth but can't speak it. In the recent years, D'Onofrio, who is, and it's an interesting point, not Jewish, unlike Karp who is not a bigot on the eroticism field, and the erotic art one in particular, understood the loss he had created by his "inclusivity", which was written in his statements about the operation, but that almost no one had seen except me - because I'm "islamophobic" (I'm not - or maybe yes - but not as "progressive" and their reduced mind think of).

Now the new changes for change and to make live Tumblr longer, as expressed by the staff which is losing power and money and is trying to get back on their feet, make many people and in particular artists, said by Tumblr to be "their main asset" (funny when we know the boycott implemented on the mag, me and my wife and collaborator, just for being who she is, when she never speaks politically or about violence and terrorism), leave or say they'll leave. And Tumblr will probably understand it in years, except if many of us "harass" them. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director since 2 014

Ellos están realmente enamorados

O: es mutuo, lo hemos discutido.

La gente intenta decir que todos los chicos de 1D se tratan así, pero... no. Harry y Louis se tratan de manera diferente.

Hay una gran cantidad de pruebas de sus celos; aquí hay un poco. (Personalmente, creo que muchos de ellos no son necesariamente celos, sino una expresión de su frustración por la situación y su incapacidad para tratarse unos a otros como lo hacen los demás, pero digamos celos por simplicidad). Louis golpeando la mano de Zayn lejos de Harry y este de Harry reaccionando a que Zayn alimenta a Louis son particularmente divertidos.

Hay muchas fotos de los primeros días de Harry con pequeñas "L" en sus manos/brazos. Éstos son solo algunos. Y aquí hay uno de agosto de 2013.

¿Saben siquiera lo que significa susurrar? ¿Saben dónde están las orejas? ¿Qué pasa detrás de esa mano?

A veces parece que se cantan el uno al otro. Aquí hay algunos que creo que son legítimos.

El final de este. Fíjate en la expresión de Harry y el pequeño levantamiento de cejas de Louis.

"Debes ser tú / solo tú." "It's gotta be you / only you."

"Quiero, quiero, quiero ser amado por ti". "I want, I want, I want to be loved by you."

Una de las líneas de Harry en "Rock Me" es: "Oh, Dios mío, nunca podrían cerrarnos". Y a veces parece cantárselo a Louis. Una vez cambió la línea a "Oh, Dios, ellos nunca podrían lastimarnos ahora" /"Oh my my they could never hurt us now" (y luego miró a Louis). Una vez cortó la mitad de la línea por completo y simplemente miró a Louis.

Parece que tienen la costumbre de cantarse  “Little things” entre ellos. Éste es particularmente significativo. Mire a Harry y Louis una vez que Harry comience a cantar. (El mismo día, una canción diferente aquí)

Interpretaron su canción "Night Changes" ("incluso cuando la noche cambie / nunca cambiará tú y yo"/"even when the night changes /it will never change me and you")  en los AMA de 2014.. Y Harry le cantó todo a Louis. Y luego lo hizo de nuevo.

La forma en que se miran, hombre. Y la forma en que Harry no puede evitar mirar a Louis. ¡Y la forma en que Louis le guiña un ojo a Harry!

Nadie se ríe más de Louis que Harry; solo Louis obtiene esa reacción de Harry.

Louis elegiría a Harry para Spin the Bottle. Y observe que no parece un servicio de fans: lo murmura en voz baja, casi como una ocurrencia tardía, e inmediatamente vuelve a jugar con su teléfono. Es como si realmente no tuviera la intención de que se escuchara. De todos modos, no claramente.

Hay un par de grandes momentos en esta entrevista. Beso falso . Louis contando con los dedos de Harry para placer de Harry. Otro toque en todas partes. Lo mejor de todo: este poco de posesividad descarada.

"[Quiero casarme..." *mira a Louis* (para que conste, estoy bastante seguro de que lo están planeando).

Asombrosa demostración de coqueteo. En el día de San Valentín. En París. Totalmente, descaradamente, el uno con el otro. Esta es la primera y última entrevista que hicieron solo con ellos dos porque WOW, OBVIAMENTE.

The 2012 Brits: chicos borrachos llevan el coqueteo y las insinuaciones a nuevos niveles. Cosas a tener en cuenta:

Susurrando desde el principio

"Entonces, ¿quién se lleva la cabeza [del premio]?" Niall quiere la cabeza. Y Louis va por él: "Harry está consiguiendo cabeza/Harry's getting head.". Harry: "¡HAHAAA! ¡Dijo algo grosero!" * risita risita, mira a Louis * Mientras tanto, Louis está ocupado lamiéndose los labios (lo que hace que sea un poco más difícil argumentar que Harry está recibiendo la cabeza de otra persona, diría yo) y haciendo muecas engreídas hacia la gente fuera de la pantalla.

Louis mueve un objeto fálico hacia arriba y hacia abajo. Harry se distrae. Y luego Louis realmente besa la cabeza.

"Y si pudieras besar a cualquier artista en la habitación esta noche, ¿con quién sería?"  Harry: "Adele. Adele. Definitivamente Adele. Podría intentarlo al salir". (Mira la forma en que el cuerpo de Louis se pone rígido y él asiente con la cabeza; puedes decir que está tratando de controlar su rostro.) * Mirar a Louis - darse cuenta de que algo anda mal - mirar a Louis con arrepentimiento * Harry: "Lo siento . " Louis: * alguna expresión ininteligible de resignación *

El entusiasmo se agota por completo en Louis.

 "¿Donde se quiere sentar?" "A tu lado." (Para que conste, creo que lo que la gente escucha como "no pueden sentarse juntos" es simplemente otra persona que les grita que "se acerquen".)

Mire a Harry y Louis con mucho cuidado aquí. Observa los dedos de Harry y el brazo de Louis. Esto es pequeño. Esto es sutil. Esto no es para las cámaras ni para los fanáticos. Esto es para ellos. Este es el tipo de mierda que no hacen con los otros chicos. Y si vale la pena, este es EL MOMENTO para mí: en los pocos segundos que me tomó ver este momento por primera vez, pasé abruptamente de pensar "Harry y Louis son el mejor bromance de todos los tiempos" a "Harry y Louis podrían estar enamorados".

Bien Dios, Louis, intenta ser más engreído.

Ellos (¿solían tener?) Una señal secreta. Harry dijo en su primer programa de gira que su objetivo para la gira era aprender el lenguaje de señas. Y luego la gente se dio cuenta... mucho. (Realmente ya no lo hacen, presumiblemente porque el fandom se dio cuenta, pero aquí hay un ejemplo de 2013.)

"Tú." Tan tranquilo. Tan sutil. Por tanto, no está destinado al consumo público.

Solo mire el fragmento de esta entrevista "Si conociera a alguien que me gustara". Tos dramática de Louis. "Tuve que toser en silencio y al final hice un trabajo terrible". SÍ, está bien, LOUIS, eso no era extraño ni sospechoso en absoluto. (Análisis de toda la entrevista aquí).

Esta entrevista ocurrió justo antes de que Harry y Taylor Swift comenzaran a "salir" y el entrevistador preguntó acerca de los enamoramientos de celebridades antes de aclararla como la pregunta de "me gusta sacar" y obviamente fue una trampa para que Harry comenzara a hablar sobre Taylor y todavía se veía en Louis en lugar de GUAU.

Si ves a la gente en este fandom hablando de Barbara Walters: esta es la razón.  Mira cómo se miran Harry y Louis. También en esa entrevista (a las 5:07): esto.

Harry dice que "Wouldn't It Be Nice"  Es el tema principal de su vida y Louis pone esa cara. Dios bendiga a la gente de las cámaras, a los productores y editores, de verdad.

De acuerdo, este video es increíble. El momento relevante sucede MUY rápido pero es MUY importante. Empiece a las 2:07. Mira la cara de Louis. Él es feliz, feliz, feliz. Se abrazaron. Se da cuenta de que Harry está tocando su hombro y se CONGELA. Mira a Harry con la carita más vulnerable y luego extiende su brazo hacia el de Harry y lo agarra. Y se niega a dejarlo ir (pobre Niall).

¿Directamente tomados de la mano en Meet & Greets? Vamos. Es un MILAGRO que aún no hayan sido totalmente descubiertos.

Incluso cuando se separan para las entrevistas, terminan dando las mismas respuestas. ¿Entrenamiento de medios? Quizás. O tal vez estén en el cerebro del otro en este punto.

Es una cosa. Si no conoces "You're Still the One" de Shania, escúchalo ahora. ES UNA CANCIÓN PARA PERSONAS EN RELACIONES A LARGO PLAZO, no las supuestas aventuras de Harry de seis semanas o 410 mujeres al año/mujeriego. NOTA DEL TRADUCTOR (Aca Mag): 2018 MSG LIVE ON TOUR HARRY HACE UN COVER DE ESTA CANCION EN SU TOUR CON KACEY

LA PINTURA BLANCA ES MUY IMPORTANTE. Para ser claros: tanto en 2012 como en 2013, Louis salió de Halloween con pintura facial blanca. Y ambos años, el cabello de Harry estaba misteriosamente blanco al día siguiente. (Quiero señalar que muchos de los remitentes de Harry / Louis no creen en White Paint 2.0; la evidencia no es tan clara como la de 1.0. Sin embargo, sí. Aqui hay algunas fotos de ese dia. Como usted puede ver, la mayoría de ellos son LQ, por lo que es menos probable que la pintura sea visible de todos modos, y solo en uno de ellos, el famoso, se puede ver la parte de su cabeza donde parece que está la pintura. Entiendo totalmente por qué la gente duda en declarar la existencia de White Paint 2.0 basándose básicamente en una imagen (y algunas imágenes que sugieren que podría tener un poco de pintura en la ceja izquierda / cerca de la sien izquierda), pero no creo que sea Es una locura decir que es real cuando, hasta donde yo sé, esa imagen es literalmente la única que PODRÍA mostrarnos algo, si la pintura está donde parece que está)

A menudo se les pregunta a los chicos sobre lo más romántico que han hecho por alguien. Louis siempre dice lo mismo: que preparó una comida y que fue la primera y única comida que preparó. BIEN. La última semana del X-Factor, Harry tuiteó esto .  Ahora, Louis ha estado hablando de esta comida durante varios años; lo hizo aquí  y aquí en 2012, y luego nuevamente en noviembre de 2013 - observe cómo Harry mira hacia abajo. Además, observe el énfasis que Louis pone en el palabra "agradable" y cómo Harry dijo un minuto o dos antes que sólo está buscando "alguien que sea agradable" (aunque para ser justos, Louis podría haber sido una referencia al uso de Zayn de la palabra "agradable" también). Liam lo mencionó en concierto el año pasado (2014) , y Harry volvió a hacer los movimientos con las manos . Mientras tanto, ¡solo imprime! Louis alguna vez ha afirmado que esta comida era para Eleanor. Básicamente, estoy diciendo que lo que dice Louis es lo más romántico que jamás haya hecho para Harry. También podría haber sido por Hannah, con quien estaba saliendo durante The X-Factor y quien ha dicho que Louis una vez le preparó una comida (lo que entra en conflicto con la afirmación de Harry sobre la "primera experiencia culinaria" de Louis). Así que no sé si su comida fue para Harry o Hannah, pero parece terriblemente improbable que fuera para Eleanor. Y, sinceramente, si has estado saliendo con alguien durante 2,5 años y la historia que SIEMPRE cuentas como la cosa más romántica que has hecho es algo que hiciste por otra persona... bueno. ADEMÁS del hecho de que TODAVÍA está contando la historia ... mira, si están prestando ALGUNA atención al fandom de Larry, saben que creemos que esta historia hace referencia a Harry (o Hannah, al menos), no a Eleanor. De ninguna manera. Louis sigue contándolo si él y Harry no están realmente juntos y / o no quieren que pensemos que están juntos. Y de ninguna manera Harry sigue haciendo esos malditos movimientos con las manos. NOTA DEL TRADUCTOR (Aca Mag): 2019 LOUIS EN UNA ENTREVISTA CUENTA QUE LO MAS ROMANTICO QUE HA HECHO ES EL FAMOSO POLLO…

Hubo algunos coqueteos incondicionales en la alfombra roja de los AMA de 2013 (además, se miraron así cuando ganaron un premio).

Aquí hay un resumen muy útil de los últimos meses de 2013. Especialmente relevante para aquellos que piensan que Harry y Louis se han separado.

Ah, los brits de 2014. Los momentos favoritos personales incluyen:

Subtítulos de Instagram previos al show muy sospechosos que no estaban firmados como "1DHQ", como suelen ser las imágenes oficiales de 1D Insta.

La mirada de amor espeluznante  de Harry

El rostro de Louis cuando Harry faltaba y el rostro de Louis cuando Harry regresó y Harry preguntando a Louis, "¿Qué ganamos?" (comparado con el momento en que Louis se dio cuenta de que su novia Eleanor había desaparecido)

La cara de Harry cuando Louis fingió que los chicos no se habían visto en tres meses.

La cara de Harry cuando Louis llegó a la sala de prensa.

Harry mirando a Louis cuando habla de su viaje de cumpleaños a Jamaica.

¿Recuerdas cómo sucedió "Harry se está volviendo loco" en los británicos de 2012? BIEN ESTO SUCEDIÓ EN 2014 #liamisjimhalpert

¿Qué es lo último que hacen antes de salir al escenario? Beso, aparentemente.

La madre de Louis, Jay, se casó en julio de 2014. La mayor parte de la banda, incluido Harry, asistió y produjo momentos dulces como Harry abrazando al abuelo de Louis mientras la madre de Harry les sonreía y Jay parecía presentarle a Harry a algunos miembros de la familia, para principiantes. (Oh, y Louis usó la camisa de Harry). Lo cual estuvo muy bien. Pero parecía que la boda fue muy especial para Harry, o algo así, porque descubrimos muchos días después que TODAVÍA llevaba la pulsera  que aparentemente  todos los invitados a la boda debían usar. E incluso después de que el fandom hizo un gran negocio con eso, TODAVÍA SIGUIÓ USÁNDOLO.1 2. .  De hecho, no se lo quitó hasta la mitad de su próximo espectáculo, días después, literalmente salió corriendo del escenario y se lo quitó después de que el espectáculo había comenzado. ¡Pero ni siquiera termina ahí! Un mes después de eso, hubo un poco de drama de fans entre algunos Larry Shippers y algunas personas que piensan que Harry y Louis se han separado, con respecto a si Harry se divirtió en la boda y si su presencia allí fue únicamente por servicio de fans. Al día siguiente, Harry llegó a LAX  a una escena de la mafia (dejando en claro muy públicamente que no asistía a un partido de fútbol benéfico en el que Louis estaba a punto de jugar en Inglaterra), y ¿qué estaba atado alrededor de la bolsa que llevaba por el aeropuerto? La pulsera de la boda. Maldita sea, Harry.

Ah, ¿y la otra cosa que llevaba en ese aeropuerto? Cierto pañuelo azul.

Solo unos pequeños momentos divertidos de la gira Where We Are. x

The Cherry On Top • Character Introductions • 01 | And so it begins • 02

With each cup of coffee Y/N placed in the cupholder, a low grumble accompanied the action. Each thunk of coffee that slid into each holder was a little more aggressive and heavy-handed than the task need be, but the air of irritation that emitted from the girl was undeniably strong, and the unfortunate barista that was tasked to make this foul-mood customer’s drinks handed her the last of her order before quickly slinking away.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid,” Y/N continued to grumble under her breath the entire frigid three blocks back to the campus of where her office was located.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid.” A scowl was evident on the girl’s face the entire elevator ride up the tall skyscraper until it dinged and stopped at the 70th floor. It wasn’t until the doors slid open that Y/N sucked in a shaky breath and plastered a Crest-worthy, Splenda-sweet smile on her face as she exited the lift and entered the bustling office.

“Coffee’s here!” Y/N sang out and placed the two cup holders down on top of the front office’s counter tabletop.

“Y/N’s back!”

A scurry of workers crowded around the 21-year-old girl as she animatedly read off orders off the top of her head and handed them out, one-by-one to its rightful owner.

“You’re the best, Y/N-chan!” A senpai from the tech editorial department ruffled her head, earning a small whimper of protest as she tried to sooth her hair. It wasn’t like she spent twenty-minutes this morning trying to tame her unruly mane for nothing.

“Isn’t Y/N the best? She’s always so good at remembering who gets what.” Another senpai from the lifestyle editorial department chimed in and took a sip from her latte.

“Oh no, no! I’m just doing my job.” Y/N let out a forced chuckle, but it went unnoticed as her coworkers slowly disappeared back to their corner of the office to get back to work.

"Alright, you can drop the act, you fake."

The instant Y/N heard a snort coming from behind, the fake smile that was plastered to her face immediately dropped as she whipped around to face a chestnut-haired male.

"I hate it here," Y/N groaned and leaned her upper body onto the countertop. She let out a huff of air and blew a stray piece of hair away from her eyes. "I can't wait to graduate from coffee intern to staff writer."

"You're meeting with the Chief later today, right?" Oikawa Tooru removed his hands from the pockets of his slacks and eyed the remaining drink leftover.

"Mmm, yeah." Y/N let out a distracted sigh as her thumbs flew across the keyboard of her smartphone for a quick text. With the click of a button, she locked her phone and shoved it into her pants pocket and gave her full attention to the older male. "Chief told me that she had good news for me, and judging by all the overtime work and random projects I picked up over the past few months --"

"You mean bitch work?" Oikawa interrupted, earning a glare from the girl.

"For your information, my 'bitch work' got published last week! And that's besides the point. All that matters is that Chief has noticed that I'm a responsible worker who is willing to go above and beyond my day-to-day tasks and now I'm definitely getting the promotion that's been long due!"

There was a smug grin on Y/N's face while Oikawa rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, you are a hard worker, Y/N-chan, but that doesn't mean you should be doing other people's tasks when it should be their job to do them in the first place."

"Can't you just be happy for me?" Y/N whined. "I didn't graduate from UTokyo with over $100k in student debt just to go on coffee runs. And I don't even get to have my own drink!"

Oikawa sighed and placed a hand on top of the shorter girl's head. "I am happy for you. And proud of you. I hope you get the staff writer position you wanted, and when you do get assigned to my department, I'll make sure to run you dead with ten articles simultaneously." 

There was an evil, teasing glint in Oikawa's eyes which Y/N responded to by sticking out her tongue.

A ding! interrupted the teasing banter and Y/N checked her phone. She let out a quick squeal and a small hop.

"Gotta go! Ayame-san from tech has an article she wants me to write!"

Y/N waved goodbye and scurried away.

"Hey! I asked for a dirty Chai, not a mocha! What the fuck, Y/N?" Oikawa yelled after the retreating girl.

"Serves you right for making me do your coffee run too, Oinkawa!" Y/N's bubbly laughter echoed through the hallway as she skipped towards the tech editorial department.

Oikawa sighed and tugged at the front pieces of his hair. It was already nearing the end of the day, but he was still at least half an hour away from completing his remaining task for the day. He was currently in the middle of copy-editing an article one of his staff writers submitted earlier today when he felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

Oikawa removed his glasses and pulled out his phone, rubbing his tired eyes while unlocking his phone. It was a text from Y/N.

She must've finally talked to Chief, Oikawa thought. He swiped his thumb to unlock his phone and read the text.

Oikawa grimaced at Y/N’s text. It was obvious the meeting did not go the way Y/N had wanted it to. Sighing, Oikawa stood up and packed his things. Looks like the article was going to have to be pushed back a week; there was a more important meeting he had to attend to first.

Y/N glared at her phone and bounced her leg, a nervous tick that Oikawa absolutely hated whenever she did. Maybe if he was here right now, he would've had the opportunity to scold her. Except his train was running five minutes late. Y/N groaned as she watched another minute go by.

Where's Tooru?

How much longer was he going to make her sit in agony at their favorite bakery and tea shop? 

Right when Y/N was about to hit send on her phone, the shop door jingled, and in waltzed Oikawa.

"Alright, alright, I'm here. What happened?" Oikawa was slightly breathless, having sped-walked from the station and down the block to meet up with Y/N. He rolled up his button-down sleeves and removed his work badge from around his neck.

"So I got the promotion," Y/N began to which Oikawa cut her off.

"Okay, congrats, but that's hardly an existential crisis."

"No! Let me finish!" Y/N stomped her foot once, irritation beginning to seep in. Oikawa rolled his eyes, completely immune to Y/N's temper flare ups. Instead of retorting, he opted to take a sip of her fruit tea. "I got the promotion, but it wasn't the promotion I wanted."

"Did you get placed in lifestyle with Iwa-chan? I heard that department's kind of a mess right now. Iwa-chan told me their lifestyle editor's too busy hooking up with Hanamaki's layout intern to even run the department --"

"Tooru, for kami's sake, I'm begging you to shut up." Y/N groaned and covered her face with her hands. "I'm TK Mag's new gossip blogger. Chief wants me to freaking exploit influencers under the alias of 'Cherry' for the new Cherry on Top blog."

“The new what now?”

MAG 018 - The Man Upstairs

Summary: Jonathan reads the statement of Christof Rudenko, regarding “his interactions with a first-floor resident of Welbeck House, Wandsworth.”

Obligatory confession of American confusion: This episode is about 23 minutes long, and it took me until somewhere around the 20-minute mark before I had my light-bulb moment about Toby Carlisle being a “first-floor resident”. By “first floor” he means “SECOND floor” in American speak. Yes, that’s right - I spent almost the entire episode confused about which floor this guy really lived on. (For anyone not in the know, in the U.S. the “first floor” is the floor that you walk into a building on, that you don’t use any steps or stairs to access. It is also called the ground floor - they are the same thing. If you go up one flight of stairs, you are now on the second floor, not the first.)

The first-floor-second-floor thing was pretty much the only mystery I solved this episode though. I definitely enjoyed the episode (despite feeling like throwing up myself at some of the descriptions), but as with most of the episodes, I’m left with far more questions and tantalizing clues than actual answers.

Christof describes the odd, unpleasant odor around Toby Carlisle as “halfway between the smell of the pavement after a rain on a hot day and chicken that’s starting to turn”. The second part of that makes sense, given the state of Toby’s apartment when Christof enters it at the end, but I’m having trouble placing what exactly that first part is supposed to smell like. More interesting to me though is the fact that the smell was already there when Christof moved in, even though the banging from Toby’s apartment didn’t start until almost two years later. It seems reasonable to assume the banging was Toby nailing the various meats to the walls, floor, ceiling, etc., but if that’s the case, then where was that smell coming from for the years prior to that? Did it originate with Toby himself, or did his excess meat problem cause the smell long before he actually started nailing them to the walls?

When Christof returned the incorrectly delivered package to Toby’s apartment, we get possibly the most detailed description of any part of Toby in the entire episode: “The hand was thin and pale, with long, filthy yellow fingernails. On the back, I saw a single dark red mark that might have been a cut or a lesion, but it was gone before I had a chance to see it in more detail.” The “single dark red mark” is likely the beginning of the “puckered, septic lesions and holes” Christof sees in Toby’s dead face at the end of the episode (some part of me wants to say it reminds me of Jared Key’s eye tattoos from episode 12...but I’m trying to ignore that possibility), but the fingernails are what really piqued my interest. Christof tells himself for most of the episode that Toby just has a severe hygiene issue, but if it was straight-up uncleanliness, his fingernails would be primarily brown or black, caked with dirt or grime, that sort of thing. Instead, they are yellow more than anything else. This is the first of five mentions of the color yellow in this episode - the second is the color of the growing stain on Christof’s dining room ceiling, the third is the color of the liquid that oozes out of the hole in the ceiling after it collapses, the fourth is the color of the rotting meat covering Toby’s apartment, and the fifth is the color of the “fluid” that “oozed” from the creepy af pile of meat in Toby’s kitchen. The similarity in the colors indicates a direct connection between Toby himself (that is, his body) and the rotten meat. But the pieces of meat that lined his apartment were, in Christof’s estimation, pieces of various non-human animals - so if we take him at his word, the rotten meat wasn’t literally from Toby, so something external caused both Toby and the meat to excrete that sickly yellow rot.

So what made it target or infect Toby? No clue, since we don’t have any background on him, but I sure hope it wasn’t done by touch alone: Christof got some of that yellow slime on his jacket sleeve when Toby snatched the package from him. He said he couldn’t get rid of the smell and eventually threw the jacket out - but then he accidentally touched the stuff while fumbling for the light switch in Toby’s apartment at the end. When they followed up with him, he said “he had had no further experiences he believed to be linked to these events” and I don’t have any specific reason to disbelieve that - except that that means Toby wasn’t infected by just touching the wrong thing (or person). This isn’t a Jane Prentiss-type infection. So what’s Toby’s story?

And just what was in that package? “The envelope was thick and soft - it must have been mainly full of bubble wrap or other packing material.” So...it wasn’t meat? Because that would have been two puzzle pieces fitting together quite nicely, canceling each other out, and I’m more than a little irked that that wasn’t the case. It’s like Jonathan said at the end: “Where was he getting the meat?” At first, the sheer quantity of meat reminded me, vaguely, of the bag of teeth from episode 5. Both were a multitude of body parts. But those teeth were human and the meat is (apparently) from animals, and all the teeth were identical, whereas these meats are all different cuts from different animals. Notably, they’re all animals that are typically eaten by humans - Christof mentions steaks, chicken, and lamb among them. This seems to be more of that theme of rotten food, although in this case I think the “rotten” is more important than the “food”.

Despite all these questions I have, none of these things are directly harmful. Sure, Christof’s ceiling caves in, but no one besides Toby dies or gets hurt (that we know of). But that pile at the end...I got some Seriously Bad Vibes from that. To recap, Christof found in Toby’s kitchen “a pile of discarded meat and bone stacked almost as high as a person. It seemed almost less decayed than the rest of it, though that foul yellow fluid oozed from it, and…when I looked at that heaped pile of meat…it moved. I don’t know how - I don’t know quite how to explain it, other than it opened its eyes. It opened all its eyes. The next thing I remember is the police’s arrival” - and then suddenly the pile of meat was gone. There are two things here - inherently connected, I’m sure - that I’d like to point out.

First is the eyes. Creepy or out-of-place eyes have been mentioned every few episodes so far in the series: in the painting on Mary Key’s wall in episode 4, in Wilfred Owen’s death in episode 7, in the eye pendants in episode 9, in Jared Key’s eye tattoos in episode 12 (as well as the eye in the security camera in that same episode). And with each new appearance (particularly the one in this episode) I’m starting to get more and more worried about whatever being or creature or presence the eyes belong to.

Which brings me to the second thing. One of the recurring themes in these stories has been what I’ve taken to calling “altered reality” - when things appear one way but, we find out later, were actually quite different. When Graham is confused by Amy mentioning his nonexistent window box in episode 3. When Laura tries to reverse out of the squeeze in the cave in episode 15 and her foot hits solid rock. When the pile of meat straight-up disappears in this very episode. I want to be clear - those examples of “altered reality” are not what I’m talking about when I discuss a new (to me) theme: the incomprehensible. This pile of...whatever...in Toby’s kitchen is literally incomprehensible to Christof. He can’t even put into words what he saw. It’s like either the words don’t exist to describe what he saw or his brain can’t comprehend it - or possibly both. He says, “when I looked at that heaped pile of meat…it moved. I don’t know how - I don’t know quite how to explain it, other than it opened its eyes. It opened all its eyes.” Being unable to trust your senses due to some “altered reality” is terrifying, but to experience something that is literally incomprehensible and indescribable is just another level of terrifying. And the one thing most clearly intertwined with this incomprehensibility Christof experiences? The eyes. Specifically, the eyes opening.

We’ve seen this incomprehensibility before, albeit in slightly less terrifying (IMO) situations. In episode 3, Amy describes the creature entering Graham’s window: “When I say it moved, that’s not quite right - it shifted. Like when you stare at one of those old magic eye paintings and you change from seeing one picture into seeing another.” But much more blatantly and recently, in episode 17 Sebastian describes reading an excerpt from The Boneturner’s Tale: the Boneturner “crept up to the Miller while he slept. It described him silently reaching inside him and…it’s a bit hazy. All I remember clearly is the line ‘and from his rib a flute to play that merry tune of marrow took’. And as for the rest, I don’t recall in detail.” The second example concerns me much more than the first. I feel bad for Graham, of course, and I really want to know what that creature was...but The Boneturner’s Tale was a Leitner and seemed to have the power to deform anyone who touched it.

By themselves, it doesn’t appear that the eyes are doing anything. They’re just eyes, after all. No limbs, no body. But I don’t know if they really are just watching, or if their form and actions are so incomprehensible to humans that the people in these stories essentially can’t perceive it. And if they are just watching...what are they watching for, and what’s going to happen when they see it?

This post is part of a series where I write my thoughts about each episode and obsessively connect dots in an effort to figure out The Big Mysteries of the series. All posts in this series are tagged “is this liveblogging?” Comments and messages are welcome but I have only listened to season 1, so I ask that you not spoil me for anything beyond episode 40. In the words of Jonny Sims…thanks for listening!

MAG 018: The Man Upstairs

This had a fun, creepypasta vibe. Being an RA for 3 years gave me 0 fear of knocking on doors. I’m like, if I had a neighbor pounding on the floor for hours at a time and releasing a terrible odor into my apartment, I would simply knock on his door and do some conflict resolution with him. Rip to Christof Rudenko but I’m different.

[basilepesso]

I think it’s the first time since I’m here (2 011) that I lose so many followers in such a short period excepted the time I had to blog about 100 persons in a row. This time it’s even on my inoffensive photo blog, but not for the mag. I don’t know if it’s porn bots that I hadn’t blocked that suddenly delete themselves or if people suddenly become even more hysterical and intolerant to FACTS that they had been for so many years (mainly 2 017, it’s then that I started to be “political” and factual about crime and terrorism) - I couldn’t think this could be possible. 13 followers lost here in two days, now it comes by packs, and on my photo blog 6 lost. Usually it’s just the usual unfollowings one by one, a few seconds after publication of French texts and articles that the followers absolutely don’t take the time to read.

The worst it that this shit even happened by pack after my yesterday’s reblog of a 2 018 text praising Ben Harper’s career. I don’t know what these fanatics have in “mind”. Well... Basile Pesso, 19 April 2 023

Piège à Mongoloïdes

Il y a 2 ajouts de la néo-gauche à la gauche :

-Immigrationnisme délirant et complètement criminel -LGBTisme Un vrai "de gauche" comme moi ne peut évidemment pas être d'accord avec aucun de ces 2 ajouts. 1. L'immigrationnisme n'a rien à voir avec "l'immigration" et le "respect des différences raciales, religieuses, culturelles". C'est une gravissime déviance. 2. Le LGBTisme n'est pas le respect des homosexuel(le)s et des transsexuels. C'est une exagération, un excès, comme le point 1. Ces 2 points sont tellement graves (surtout le 1) et repoussants que les vrais "de gauche" haïssent ce qui est aujourd'hui appelé la gauche ou "les gauchistes" et se dirigent électoralement et sur les réseaux sociaux, ainsi qu'"IRL", vers ce qui est complètement à tort appelé extrême-droite, pourquoi pas "ultra-droite".

Ils ne vont pas vers la véritable droite, qui, en France, est l'UMP, en Espagne, le PP, aux USA, les Républicains. Il faut vraiment avoir de sévères problèmes psychologiques et/ou de perception pour m'imaginer "de droite" parce que j'ose lutter contre le crime sous toutes ses formes. Un simple coup d'oeil à YWAMag, pas plus de 10 minutes, révèle même à un QI à 2 chiffres de quel "côté de l'échiquier politique" je me situe. -Ecologie ? Je suis plus ultra que n'importe lequel d'entre vous. -Sécurité routière ? Idem, et ça va avec. -Economie ? Idem, notamment par le partage du temps de travail et la sortie de la Société du Travail. Sous-ensemble aide aux précaires : ligne d'extrême-gauche. -Culture ? Voir le mag, son "about" (2 014), ses environ 65 000 sélections depuis 2 014 fidèles au about sans sourciller, soit : ouvert à tous en fonction du niveau (haut mais non élitiste), SANS AUCUN BOYCOTT. Un "voyage delight" du Chili à la Nouvelle-Zélande, du Nigeria à la Suède, de la Russie au Canada. Aaaah, l'ultra-droite n'est plus eu'ce qu'elle était. Ma bonne dame. Ou mon bon mongolo d'ultra-gauche. Sous-ensemble développement culturel dont soutien aux artistes et lieux d'art : plus à gauche que n'importe lequel d'entre vous - me contacter pour le détail -Politique étrangère ? Refus de tout colonialisme, j'ai même proposé depuis...2 014 que la statue de Colomb, emblématique de Barcelone, soit remplacée ou démontée. -Respect des animaux ? Je ne mange pas de mammifères sauf du porc depuis 20 ans... Sous-ensemble corrida ? Spectacle de cinglés, excuse-moi Rocio, tu connais mon point de vue -Esclavage des enfants de toutes couleurs mais surtout, actuellement, des non-blancs ? L'horreur. -Domination et violence masculines ? Partout, atroce. Sous-ensemble prostitution forcée aka traite des femmes (rarement d'hommes) et des enfants et adolescents ? Viser l'éradication totale des réseaux, sensibiliser le client au fait qu'une portion infime de prostituées est volontaire -Santé : a. La base : l'adage "le travail c'est la santé" est l'arnaque non du siècle mais des millénaires. Comme la division fallacieuse actuelle gauche/droite, le sujet "travail" est envisagé de façon manichéenne, infantile. Le travail doit être libéralisé, au sens rendu libre. Tout le système horaire doit être revu. Imaginez, et pensez aux effets bénéfiques de votre santé. Pensez à votre chiasse du dimanche soir, celle du lundi matin, votre haine de votre patron, de la débilité de vos collègues, etc. Qui diable cherchez-vous à impressionner en disant que "vous, vous vous levez tôt" (la nuit !!) alors que vous êtes épuisé au bout de quelques heures de travail, parfois à en crever - et c'est d'ailleurs ce qui arrive, mais comme le corps médical vous dit que votre cancer n'a rien à voir, vous gobez...?

b. Sortir de la société de la maladie et de la plainte Tout est dans mon programme de 2 018. N'importe qui qui voit ma gueule sait que je suis un gaucho (un vrai). Il y a un gros. Très, très gros problème de connerie. C'est pas nouveau, j'en parle depuis plus de dix ans sur eu'l vèbe.

Le néo-gauchisme, c'est le projet sorosien (oooh mais qui qu'cest donc, s'rait pas à la tête d'un "certain réseau" le William Saurien ?), c'est créer la néo-gauche pour disloquer la gauche et conserver le statu quo de la destruction totale - celle qui plaît à "la France qui s'lève tôt" (expression chère au pédo-sat Shark au Zizi et ses crochets de boucher...) ou la "España que madruga". Ceci n'est pas du tout une attaque contre mes amis de VOX ou contre Ricky Zem and co. C'est une expression pour dire que Soros est un capitaliste déguisé en humaniste, et que la vraie gauche est un danger pour lui.

Aussi a t'il créé le néo-gauchisme, sur le canevas décrit, comme je l'ai dit au moins 5 fois, par l'espion KGBiste Bezmenov sur le modus operandi de l'infiltration soviet aux USA. Il se sert des idiots utiles, les néo-gauchistes, et ceci a également été théorisé par les Soviets. Le système est tellement pervers mais pourtant ultra-basique que la dislocation de l'Occident s'est faite sur une seule base, car le point 2 évoqué tout en haut est totalement secondaire : l'immigrationnisme et sa criminalité hallucinante, dont terroriste. Ce sera l'objet de mon prochain texte, et désolé, tant que je n'ai pas récupéré mon ordi, pas de photos sur mes sites. Sharks patrol these waters, don't let your fingers dangle in the water, oh mais qui qu'cest donc qui a tué Mark Sandman en plus de tant d'autres, ce serait-y pas "un certain réseau de William Saurien" qui aime les crochets de boucher ?

"Stay in your life boats, people Stay in your life boats, people There's murder out there, murder out there Sharks patrol these waters" P.S : partout, observez comme la néo-gauche terrorise, comme les islamistes. Regardez mes textes brillants, regardez la terreur des lemmings, et leur flemme... Aucun point logique ne peut plus atteindre le lemming surtout en public, car la néo-gauche a engrammé de la terreur. Comme l'islamisme, le nazisme, le fascisme italien, la franquisme, le soviétisme, le polpotisme, la maoïsme.
